When the opportunity arose in 2023 to take this significant journey of establishing our Hyde Park office, in partnership with our Managing Partner Corey McQuade at Northwestern Mutual Chicago. I saw the chance to expand our footprint and to close the racial wealth gap in a historically underserved market, and beyond. 

Our vision is a firm committed to building enduring legacies and leading the way to limitless possibilities for ALL.

As for our culture we believe in the power of differences, work ethic, inclusivity, and being builders of leaders. Our firm is working to be the catalyst for bridging the wealth gap in Chicago, and we pride ourselves on being one of the most diverse and productive office in the Chicago area. We believe that everyone who decides to join this firm is dedicated to growth and impact, which creates a legacy for families and communities across the nation.

Our culture values sit atop of our vision. we must weave them into everything we do. So, when we look for new advisors, interns, and team members at Hyde Park, we’re not just looking for a vision and culture fit, we’re looking for a culture add—people who can positively contribute to what we’re building.
